Hmmm, I think that openjade is best then. It's output in multibyte
systems like Big5 or EUC-JP seems to not be mangled (as far as I can
tell from visual inspection :), so I assume that the problems have
been fixed now.

Oops, sorry, looks like edwin@ already added USE_PERL5 2 days ago
while I wasn't paying attention. I used BUILD_DEPENDS in my patch
because USE_PERL5 sets RUN_DEPENDS too, which is not necessary.

Unfortunately it does not. USE_PERL5 just consists of:
BUILD_DEPENDS+= perl${PERL_VERSION}:${PORTSDIR}/lang/perl5
RUN_DEPENDS+= perl${PERL_VERSION}:${PORTSDIR}/lang/perl5
PERL_VERSION is 5.6.1 in current, and the perl wrapper does install a
perl5.6.1 link.
Thanks for reviewing!
